COMMITTED TO A BETTER WORLD

We are focused on doing things better - for the benefit of our people, our community, and our planet

OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY

We believe that our approach to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues needs to go beyond individual initiatives to be an integral part of how we do business.

This conviction has led us to create an ESG framework aimed at embedding sustainability principles and practices deeply into every aspect of our business, ensuring long-term value creation for our stakeholders, employees, and the communities we serve. This framework also provides clear accountability in key areas and initiatives, allowing us to monitor and report on our progress.

Our sustainability agenda is structured around twelve material topics aligned with our business, KSA’s Vision 2030 and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The material topics encompass critical areas like climate change, health and safety, talent development, community engagement, and corporate governance, which Luberef is actively addressing and will further strengthen in the forthcoming years.

OUR APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY

ADDRESSING CLIMATE CHANGE

Climate change is an issue that affects us all.

We recognize that Luberef must play a part in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. That is why we have developed a decarbonization plan that aims to achieve Scope 1 and Scope 2 net zero emissions by 2050 with ambitious intermediate targets in the mid-term.

AIR QUALITY

Our existing initiatives include tracking performance to minimize emissions and flaring, installation of low-air pollutants burners in our plants, and the ongoing partnership with KAUST to reduce air pollutant contents in our fuel. We are continuously exploring new opportunities and collaborations to reduce our pollutants and advance in environmentally sustainable technologies.

WATER MANAGEMENT

We are continuously aiming to reduce water consumption intensity by making every drop of water count. And by looking for areas to increase our water recovery.

Our efforts were recognized in 2021 by Saudi Aramco, with Luberef receiving the Most Improved in Energy Intensity and Best Health, Safety, and Environment Performance President’s awards.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

For waste disposal, we deal with third-party waste management companies who remove our waste by assuring it will be recycled or removed with the safest method possible. As this market of waste management is thriving Luberef is continuously searching for better partners to maintain a safe land.

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS

As an integral part of so many industries, our products impact millions of lives around the world. That’s why we believe it is important that Luberef has a positive impact on our people and the wider community, while minimizing negative impacts on the environment.

Whether fostering potential in our people and our local communities, safeguarding their health and wellbeing or ensuring our contribution to Saudi Arabia’s development, as a responsible corporate citizen, Luberef is committed to doing things better.

GOOD GOVERNANCE

Luberef is committed to the principles of good corporate governance as an integral part of how we do business.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT

We engage in numerous community outreach programs, with a focus on promoting education, health and economic development. Our initiatives range from our Tamkeen program providing support and facilities for people with a disability to providing assistance and relief to families in need in our local communities. In the past several years, we have also contributed in various ways to the Government’s efforts in combating COVID-19, providing financial support of SAR 5 million to the Health Waqf Fund as well donating laptops to ensure the continuity of education during the pandemic.

At the heart of this culture lies a low risk tolerance with rigorously applied operational safety procedures, combined with a continuous improvement approach.
